Personal Statement

Whether you are considering or have committed to a career in counseling, congratulations are in order! The life of a counselor is an esteemed one, filled with meaningful exchanges and purpose. Working with youth and families around suicide, I learned lessons on gratitude and was afforded new perspectives on life, that I am truly better for. I very much hope that your journey will provide the same. Regardless of whether you choose to pursue an education at Lewis and Clark (though I hope you do) I encourage you to enjoy it. Enjoy this process, complete with its rewards and challenges, its apexes and valleys. Because it is through this process that we grow and become the counselors we are meant to be.
